Tom Brown came in from Whisky

gular case of dangerous bleeding.
A yaquero engaged in bringing
cattle across the range found canteen
full of whisky at q sheep herder's
camp and dutifully took it. He drank
so much that pc fell asleep on his
horse, and his companions thought it
best to take him into an abandoned
cabin. When they returned for him
they found him very week from loss
of blood. il appears that the cabin
was literally 0vet.run with vermin,
principally bugs, and these pests at

torpor were able to fill themselves up

his companions returned for him they
were almost sickened by the spectacle.

struggling mass of voracious parasites,
and although he had regained his
senses he had become so weakened by
loss of blood that he was unable 10

A bigger burial.

For long time an old Indian has
been seen around Hawthorne who ap.
peared to be older than Walker Lake.
He was so old that his bald head was
wrinkled like frozen apple and his
ears were dry and hard as pieces of
sole-leather This old chap was a
Digger who in the long ago left his
tribe with his famil TX and and took up
tribal relations with the Piutes. His
now very old Indians. re-
membered the customs of their parent
tribe and when the old man died a
few days ago they insisted on giving
him Digger burial. ANY one who
has seen a man bucked and gagged
can form very correct idea of the
appearance Of, the remains when they
are prepared for internment, according
to the Digger standard of decent bu.
rial. The body is forced into sitting
position with the knees as close to the
chin as possible, and in this position
is seated in the grave. As is the Gus
tom. with Indians everywhere many of
the possessions Of the old man were
placed in the grave, but in other re-.
spects the ceremony was strange to
the Piutes and attracted as much at.
tention from them as cremation did
at first, in the East. ."

The memorial TO be presented to the

names of over third of the English

House of Commons. For the men
who hold part of the sovereign power
in one country to make such a request
of the government of Another is a
striking mark of respect. We hope
that this advance will be met in a
friendly spirit Canada is unreasona
